MANNER OF SLEEPING IN sWIMs' JAIL.
 My prison mates received me very kindly and answered questions freely. had no hesitation in telling them who was, and this at once won their confidence. They were Union men from various parts of East Tennessee. Many of them had been ill prison for six or eight months, and the offenses charged varied from that of sim ply preferring the old government to the new, slave built Confederacy, to that of bridge burning, or of being helpers of the Union army. The latter were called spies. One of them was blind, the Confederates accusing him of only feigning blindness; but from all could observe, I think it was real.
 was greatly interested in the one negro in this miserable place. He was very friendly and anxious to be of service to us in any possible way. Some days after my arrival he was taken out and brought back again after an hour or so, seeming to be in 2 good deal of suffering. His story, which he gave as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world, moved me to indigna- tion which would gladly have expressed in some way more vigorous than words.
 He was arrested and imprisoned oA sus- picion of being fugitive slave. The law in such cases did not put the burden of

The Kings Head.

The kings head was first used as one of the hall marks on English silver in 17S4. The story is that George III, having attended a dinner at Goldsmith's hall, was greatly inn pressed with the rich display of plate used on that occasion. His majesty was in need of money, it being just after the close of the American war, and the idea was suggested that silver plate was good article for taxa tion. Soon after the duty act was passed, which imposed tax of sixpence per ounce on all silver made in England, and also enacted that the additional stamp of the kings head or duty mark should be placed on all articles as an evidence that the duty had been paid. The sovereigns head is the fifth mark, there fore any piece of English silver with only four marks is certainly over 100 years old. There are many fine specimens of the earlier period owned in Boston.-Boston Transcript

proof on the person arresting, but on the negro. Aleck had been treated as law and custom provided. He was first carefully examined, and whipped till he made some Kind of confession; then he was put Tn Jail, and advertised in accordance with proved property, he was obliged to pay all jail and whipping fees, costs of advertis- ing and liberal reward to the person ar resting; and then, usually fogging the negro unmercifully for the trouble and expense he had caused, he could take his property. But if no answer came to the advertisement, it was taken for granted that the negro lied, and he was brought out and f1ogged into a new confession, after which he was remanded to jail and again advertised. Thus they continued, If no master appeared, aogging and adver- Using, for year, when the poor fellow was sold at public auction, and the pro- ceeds applied to pay the expenses of all these barbarous infiictions! No trial was allowed by which the negro might prove himself free. When once arrested unless he happened to have some powerful white friend, his doom was sealed; and in this way, in the old slavery times, many a freed negro found his way back into bond age.
 No answer having been received to the advertisement for Aleck, he had been taken out for one of his periodical whip pings. He had now been in this prison for seven months, and was to remain five more, with no prospect but that of being sold into perpetual bondage. We pitied him from the bottom of our hearts, and are glad to believe that, if he lived, the triumph of the Union armies relieved him from his dreadful position. These things were not all ascertained on the same even ing, though several of them were, for I did all could to get complete mastery of my surroundings, that I might be ready for any possibility of escape. But the chances were slight indeed. The floor and the walls were ot solid oak, many inches thick; circle of guards was all the time on duty outside; and tho only egress was by means of Q ladder put down in the presence of the jailer and strong guard.
 As we were talking in the darkness, we heard the tramp of many feet on the out side stairway, with the clank of chains, and listened to learn what next was coming to pass. The noise came over head, and then the trap door opened and a stream of comparatively cool air poured down from the room above, and drew in through our narrow windows. We breathed with a sense of indescribab1e re- llef-drlnk1ng ln the air as the desert traveller drinks from the mountain brook! -oh! what a luxury it would be, if that trap door could only be kept open! It might have been if our life or comfort had been valued by those in authority
 A number of men were seen above by the feeble glimmer of the jailer's candle, and the long ladder was thrust down and seized by man below to prevent it from striking some head, and it was clear that others were being sent down. The Ten nesseeans cried out: Don't put any moro down here. We're full! We'll die if any more are put down.''

THAT TRAIN ROBBERY.
Who was Robbed and What was Gained
by the Desperate Expedition.

Who was Robbed and What was Gained
by the Desperate Expedition.
Additional particulars respecting the
train robbery at Flatonia are now to
hand, showing the LIGHTS details OF the
affair were correct as far as they went,
but there are, of course, further particu-
lars. The engineer was Ben PiOkren an
old and valued servant of the road, and
seems to have been fortunate in not
getting any bad usage. The conductor
was Lyons. 10 going through the pas
sengers the following TObberies Oc-
cured:
j ii. Mitchell, Tombstone, Arizona,
gave up $40; secreted $500.
Z. Armeraux. of San Francisco, gave
up $40; secreted SlGO.
Dan Sweeney, of MERGED, California,
$40
Walter Gregory, San Antonio, all he
had, $2l but the rObber returned him a
81 80 gold piece.
An old man, emIgrant, name unknown,
was robbed of Sl2 30, all he had.
l.. Lasker, drummer, OF New York,
gave up 81 and saved 500 by putting it
in his shoes.
passenger, name unknown, was
robbed of n fine gold watch, chain ard
money.
Conductor Lyons surrendered So and
saved the rest OF his money.
Lou Meyer. of Cincinnati, contributed
all he had, $4l. and was hit over the
head for being dilatOry about 1t.
w. +. Beers, of Galveston. who for
several days past stayed at the MeDger,
gave out So, and on taking an oath that
1t was all he had, WAS not further mo-
Tested.
K. l.. Armisted, New York drum
mer, gave Sl5 and saved $40.
w. Neuberger, jewelry drummer of
New York, was robbed of $40 In cash
and quantity of diamond jewelry val
ued at $1,000, and was badly beaten over
the head for not being quick enough.
A. N. Allen, the "butcher" was held
up and robbed of $40 and cigars.
Col. Quintanas, Mexican officer and
his lieutenant, CatrinO Cruz, we're next
visited and showed fight, but Mrs.
Sheriff White pursuaded them to desist.
The robbers got 500 from the Mexican
officers, and beat the lieutenant badly.
Conductor Lyons stopped further dep
relations by saying there was freight
train behind, and if the train didn't go
forward there would be a collision. Then
the robbers went of, saying they did
not want to kill anyone.
The mail WAS rifed but as far as known
no material loss has occurred.
The Express COMPANY l1e7 is I'M
known, but is estimated at IRON 5000 to
$1,000. The former amount is generally
supposed to be the correct figure.
The robbers, 1t Is thought, got about
1900 in money and valuables from the
passengers, II the statements of the
robbed ones are correct.
At the present writing no arrests are
reported and there Is said to lie no dis
tinct clue, although one Of oai peace a.
iicers is satisfied that he can name TWO
Of the robbers and can find their lair.

Wanted to Be Marshal.

4 little sOrimmage arose in the col
Or,d mems procession as 1t was passing
Navarro street on Houston street this
morning. An old darkey named Sam
Johnson, who owns his own property on
MHtugorda street and has large flag
pole erected thereon, rugged himself out
in an old u. 5. brigadier generals uni
form. which was given him some years
ago by the late Gen. E. o. c. Ord, and
which he only wears on this occasion,
was riding about u block ahead OF the
procession on horseback. Grand Mar
shall Jacob Lyons objected to this, but
could not have speech with him until
they were on Houston street. Then he
rode up and stopped him; an alteration
took place and johnson drew his old
cavalry sabre and made vicious slash
at Lyons head. That worthy caught
the blow on his hand, which was
slightly wounded, but he saved his
head from a bad cut, although even
then it was wounded by the blow.
LyOns drew his sabre and knightly tilt
was imminent when Officer Van Ripper
rode up and arrested johnson, whom
he cleverly dissrmed and marched off to
the bat cave. Mr.. W. j. B. Patterson,
the employer of johnson, furnished bond
later and he was allowed to continue
his celebration.
